Bug#958919: ITP: mpsolve -- multiprecision polynomial solver
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Doug Torrance <dtorrance@piedmont.edu>
* Package name : mpsolve
Version : 3.1.8
Upstream Author : Leonardo Robol <robol@poisson.phc.unipi.it>
* URL : https://numpi.dm.unipi.it/software/mpsolve
* License : GPL
Programming Lang: C
Description : multiprecision polynomial solver
MPSolve stands for Multiprecision Polynomial SOLVEr. It is a software that
aims to provide an easy to use (hopefully) universal blackbox for solving
polynomials and secular equations.
Among its features you can find:
* Arbitrary precision approximation.
* Guaranteed inclusion radii for the results.
* Exploiting of polynomial structures: it can take advantage of sparsity as
well as coefficients in a particular domain (i.e. integers or rationals).
* It can be specialized for specific classes of polynomials. As an example,
see the roots of the Mandelbrot polynomial of degree 2.097.151 computed in
about 10 days on a dual Xeon server.
I am interested in packaging mpsolve as it will be a dependency for
Macaulay2, a computer algebra system I eventually intend to package
(see #439888).
I will be packaging mpsolve under the umbrella of the Debian Science Team.
